is we have no fabulous sums investe,
IT in our fixtures, we do claim t
have considerable sum invested

the finest line of wall paper evel
!. opened up in Caldwell. And we
bought these goods to sell-not be-
low cost-but at fair and reason
able margin. We intend to explode
the old maxim so often quoted,
druggists 100 per cent" by sell
ing goods for what they are worth,
and no more. We will always be
found at postoffice building, and
are ready at all times to substan-
tate all our assertions.
"A gentleman handed us an ex-
cursion ticket from Nampa to Boise
and return and gave us the follow
ing facts concerning it,: Wishing
to 60 to Boise he asked for round
trip ticket. The agent sold him
the ticket and stamped the date of
sale on the back. The train leaves
Nampa at II p. m. and does not
return until 4 a. m. the next morn
ing, hence the company runs no
train back the same day it leaves
Nampa at night, and at the same |
time sells return tickets good for
that day only. Now the question
arises how long is the return ticket
good for? According to the date
stamped on the back, it is worthless
an hour after Boise is reached, and
as the return train does not tart
for six hours, the company have
deliberately entered into q contract
which they know they will not full
fill. If, on the other hand, ticket
that expires at - O'Clock on the
10th is good on the 18th, why is it
not just as good on the 18th? A
dead ticket is certainly as good one
lime as another. This is the view
The gentleman took of the matter
and when he returned two days !
alter, he was informed that his !
tickets were worthless. Being of
IN inquisitive disposition he inquir- t
ID why they were not good, and on e
icing referred to the date on the
Jack, he referred the conductor to
ne fact that they ran no return
rain on that date. Then began
sngthy argument in which the pas :
enger was evidently victorious, for +
o furthur fare was collected from Il Il
i'm, although several other gentle 9,
len on the next train paid the r
xtra dollar. The Idaho Central 9,
fficials should remedy the matter " "
} as to leave no room for mis- a. a.
understanding. CO
